A multi-way valve adapted to control a flow of fluid to different thermal fluid circuits includes a valve housing, a valve flow controller, and sealing systems. The valve flow controller is arranged in the valve housing to control flow through the valve housing. The sealing systems are configured to seal between the valve housing and the valve flow controller.

A cleaning tool has a stick or rod supporting a length of rope twisted material wound in a spiral pattern. A first embodiment includes a rope twisted spiral of material applied directly to a stick. In a second embodiment, the rope twisted spiral is applied over a wound layer of material wound in the standard manner and at right angles to the axis of the stick. This embodiment is in effect a padded spiral with the rope twisted material being padded underneath and cushioned by the standard material winding. In a third embodiment, a tightly spaced length of rope-wound material is attached to a stick. In a fourth embodiment, the tightly spaced length of rope-wound material is spiral cut to provide custom shaping to the ridges of the spiral shape. In a fifth embodiment, an extruded length of material with a 30.degree. angle is wrapped onto a rod. In a sixth embodiment, the cleaning surface and the rod are integrally formed. In a seventh embodiment, a length of cut sponge is applied to the rod. In an eighth embodiment, a conically shaped under layer of wound cotton supports an over layer of rope cotton having constant cross section. In a ninth embodiment, an integrated structure has an overall sharply taperted shape but with a constant angled spiral ridge outer surface.

Cleaning tool

A frusto-conical beverage container, equipped with a lid, is provided with an annular shield or guard that surrounds the mouth of the cup and the lid positioned thereon. When a plurality of such containers are carried in a sack or tray, the guard prevents dislodgment of the lids and leakage of the contents of the cups which typically results from such dislodgment. The upper edge of the guard coaxially surrounds the cup mouth and the lid in spaced separation therefrom, while the lower edge of the guard resides in contact with the wall of the cup. The guard may be formed as a unitary structure with the cup or as a separate sleeve removable therefrom. The guard may be formed with a breakaway section to allow the consumer's lips access to the rim of the mouth of the cup.
